Account & Auth
Sign in, sessions across devices, and account deletion.
LinkVolv uses Google OAuth for sign-in. There is no password to forget, no shared secret to leak, and your account is tied to the Google identity you already protect with two-factor.
Sign in
Choose Continue with Google on the sign-in page. Approve the consent screen — we ask only for your profile information and verified email — and you land in the dashboard. New accounts are created on first sign-in; there is no separate registration step.
Why Google-only?
It keeps the auth surface small and avoids the standard footguns of password storage. We plan to add other identity providers (Apple, GitHub, Microsoft) for users who do not want a Google identity tied to their library — but the model stays OAuth-only.
Sessions and devices
- Sign in on as many devices as you like — desktop, mobile, the browser extension.
- Sessions are independent. Signing out of one device does not sign you out elsewhere.
- From Account → Devices you can list and revoke active sessions individually.
Lost or stolen device
Account deletion
From Account → Delete account you can permanently remove every Bookmark, Session, Archive, and embedding tied to your workspace. The deletion is processed within 24 hours.
Before deleting, consider exporting your library — see Data Export.
Security posture
- OAuth-only sign-in — no password storage, no password reset flow to phish.
- All traffic is HTTPS, with HSTS enforced.
- Server-side encryption at rest for all stored content, including archived pages.
- Open-source client — anyone can audit how the app handles your data.
